36. ...there is a growing chorus of female voices who want to put a stop to this trend, and fast.
With that phrase ABC makes the opposition to Palin sound like it's some plot to sabotage Palin's campaign just because.

Maybe the opposition has some legitimate reasons to speak out against a Palin vice presidency or presidency. Maybe you dumb asses in the media are so busy fawning over her being a moose hunter, finishing third in a beauty contest and having a 'blessed event' from her teenage daughter's pregnancy, that some people are saying "ENOUGH!" and are attempting to get people to take a realistic look at this woman's qualifications, or lack thereof.

If the media gerbils were doing their job, the dialogue in this country would have been around the fact that she was a mayor of a hick town in the middle of nowhere two years ago; she was governor of a state that does not have the financial crises that most states currently have because they're riding the wave of the oil markets and they don't have the investment in infrastructure that other states have. Plus, they have the highest per-capita rate of receiving federal dollars in the nation.
